Hello there, and welcome! Below I tell you a little about my approach to astrology and why I find it interesting and useful, but if you just want to book a reading, please scroll to the end of this page for the details on how much, and how to get in touch.
VIVA ASTROLOGIA!
When I began reading astrology as a teenager, I was afraid of being ridiculed. So I am happy that we are curious again to know more about this ancient practice, which proposes that we are in sync with the planets in our universe. Sadly, because of the city lights we cannot experience the brilliant night sky as people in the past were able to, making it harder for us to connect with the planets directly today. Never the less, if we know that the moon’s phases affect oceanic tides (and our emotional cycles), and it is has been a guide for farmers in working with their plant companions to make the food we eat; then it is not so hard to imagine that we are affected by the gravitational pull of other planets as well.
In 2018, I began studying to become an accredited astrologer, but deep inside I thought I would a point where it did not add up. But I am constantly surprised by the contrary. The more I learn, the more astrology helps create new meaning of the personal and collective experiences of life. And for the difficult times that we face around the world today, it offers an alternative language for retelling our life story, as one that is connected energetically with the many beings we live with. I think we need this, because the language we have been brought up with focuses on a capitalist (individual) way of life. This language express more masculine than feminine experiences, and is not accommodating for knowledge that comes from intuition or from a gut feeling.

MY READINGS
I approach a chart reading with two ideas; that the planets in your chart are like a family or an inheritance that you learn to accept over time. And that the energies of these planets are like a toolbox; something you can actively find ways to work with. Astrology shows us that we are being guided by the complex energies of our individual planetary constellation. For some people, a reading is like a therapy session, because it gives a sense of being seen and heard. A chart reading points out how planetary alignments bring ease and/or challenge in our experiences. A reading suggests that we learn to listen and understand the needs of our many selves, rather than dismiss, or suppress them. GET IN TOUCH: Email: samahhijawi (at) icloud dot com and send me your; Time, date and place of birth. The sessions is around 1hr30mins, and it is audio-recorded, which you get to keep and listen to again later. We can meet in person in Belgium where I live, or online. I do readings in Arabic and in English. MONEY: I charge a sliding scale, or pay/offer me what you can between 40-70Euros. ***Astrology works best when you come back to it often, it can be as useful as going to a therapist in giving you a better sense of who you are and what is happening in your life at any given moment in time*** |
